You shouldn't exist if you have to build your fucking country on the mass graves of the native people, and then you are so deep in this shit you have to develop tech to be able to apartheid them all behind walls and systems and bullets, starving and dying. No, an entity like that should not deserve to exist.

Just for curiosity, are you American?

Because you literally just described America.

No. You'll be shocked, I'm Palestinian.

For that you know awfully little about the history of the area. Or you just love propaganda.

[–] snek@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I fucking love all that "propaganda" from HRW and the UN.

[–] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The UN, which includes the HRW, have a historic bias against Israel that is an ongoing topic. They admitted so themselves in the past and have been called again and again to justify their strong bias that shows, among other things, in the fact they find the majority of all human rights offenses in Israel.

The focus on Israel from the UN stems form the fact that the majority of it's members states are anti-democratic and their council is dominated by oil states and muslim states who see Israel as a thorn into their side.

While I wouldn't call everything from the UN as propaganda, they are definitely not a neutral source for information.

Ah yes that totally explains these results in the UNGA 🙄

All those 153 counties just want Hamas to have a great life /s

It's not at all that they are against war crimes or genocide or anything, noooo, they're just "biased"

All 153 of them

Only Paraguay and Israel and wherever the fuck Nauru is....

[–] snek@lemmy.world -2 points 11 months ago

Yep there it is, ladies and gentlemen. Anyone who reports on Israeli crimes has a bias.

Given what you know about our species and nature in general, what country in the world do you think doesn't fit this description?

[–] jasondj@ttrpg.network 1 points 11 months ago

Countries still standing, flying (mostly) their original flag, with a significant chunk of peak territory remaining?

Yeah, America isn’t unique. Lots throughout history. I guess you could say most of the new world, but certainly one of the largest…with Russia, China, Canada, and maybe Australia if you stretch the definition enough (and I’m not trying to ignore or dismiss their treatment of the aboriginals in saying that).
